Happy birthday Janet!
Janet Harvey received an honorary engineering doctorate from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2018 in recognition of her role, where she was one of just a handful of women working as electricians alongside 100,000 men.
Janet left school at 14 and spent three months training at a technical college when she was 18. She started work at Govan’s Fairfield Shipbuilders and then moved to John Brown’s in Clydebank.After spending six years contributing to the war effort in the 1940s, Janet, like many women, was made redundant once men returned home from fighting.
Janet said: “Having spent six years in the shipyards then working straight through to retirement, I’m amazed to be turning 100 but I must have done something right.Richard Donald, CEO of Glasgow’s Golden Generation said: “We’re delighted to help Janet celebrate such a huge milestone at the centre.“It’s not every day one of our service users turns 100, so we decided to push the boat out for her which seemed appropriate given her shipbuilding past.
